Replay Instagram conversations as cinematic stories with sentiment-matched music
Sentiment-scored message filtering, team mentorship, full-stack implementation
Video Demo
Built for a UCF course on modern full-stack development. The concept: export your Instagram conversation data, upload it to the site, and watch it play back as a cinematic story, with each message appearing one at a time and music that matches the detected sentiment of that part of the conversation.
Most conversations are mostly mundane. The interesting product challenge was filtering: how do you identify the moments that actually make for a good story from a log that is 90% "ok" and "sounds good". We used Gemini for sentiment analysis and built a scoring system to surface high-sentiment segments. The concept worked well in practice.
My main role was architecting the app and mentoring the team through Next.js. The sentiment scoring approach was the part I found genuinely interesting from a product standpoint.
